I would advocate providing them with things that they need. I absolutely would not advocate giving them money.

I would be for allowing them to earn a fair wage while in prison for the last X% if their expected term, provided they meet certain requirements.

Hello again, Steve:

I'd be for allowing them to earn a FAIR wage the ENTIRE time they're in prison, with the bulk of it going to support their family.

Moreover, I'd be for not imprisoning some people in the first place. There's a guy in California serving LIFE for stealing a $2.50 pair of socks. I don't think we can AFFORD to do that.

Hello again, Steve:

Nahhh. You should know that I'm not a consumer of rumor and innuendo. If I say it, you can count on it. I read about Curtis Wilkerson's case this morning, here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/20/op...html?th&emc=th

I don't know3

The felon receive grant because the want them go out of the street and quit selling drugs, 80% of felon are just peoples that did not have a daddy or mommy like you have to pay for they school.
Because people like you felon sell drug for other people to die and they get money to live, after you get some amount of money them become a drugs dealer.
So the government need to help these people to quit selling and the only way to do it is by giving legal money to them to teach them and help them to see that there are other way to get money in these world with out selling drugs, and that is the only reason that the felon get money, y there are a felon that is a sociopath, or a killer, they do you or it hard for them to get these benefits if you want to now more about Good come to WWW.Boom.Co.nR

I was just released from state prison and am looking to turn my life around. I am living in a half-way house and am looking for a full-time job, yet I would still like to attend community coolege in order to attain my dietary technician certification. If anyone has any info regarding grants, etc. PLEASE HELP!!

I've been out for a year now and about to be homeless because I couldn't find the grants OR work. Its insane how they always talk about the residivism rate while we are locked up too... "3 out of 5 always returns" but why don't they focus on the real reason why they returned instead of just railroading us. We get free(?) and all of a sudden we are basically invisible (unless something goes wrong, then its we who get the first blame)... OH and I have to mention that I did a year in a state facility for a felony 5 RSP. I did my time, but now it really feels like I'm doing time.

why would we not want to help convicted felons become the person God intended them to be. As far as the person who said why you certainly are not perfect and have made mistakes in your life, but maybe did not get caught. For only one is perfect. He who is without sin may cast the first stone .

Just so everyone knows who continues to post on this thread...
